What This Means For Love Hurts
The Film Underperformed At The Box Office
ThisLove Hurtsdigital release date means that the film will have only gotten three weekends of theatrical exclusivity before being released on digital. This limited window is reflective of the action movie’s poor performance in theaters.Love Hurtsreceived poor reviewsoverall, getting a mere 18% Tomatometer from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Likewise, the film underperformed in theaters, making just $15.9 million at the box office. Even for a February action movie, this is an underwhelming take home.
ScreenRant’s Mae Abdulbaki was more forgiving to the film than some, giving it 6 out of 10 stars and noting that “Quan is charming and funny.”
The box office and critical failure ofLove Hurtsis not a good sign for Quan’s career. His first go at an action leading man role, this movie could have been make or break for him. If it had been a hit, it could have paved the path for more roles for the Oscar winner, helping further revitalize his career. Unfortunately, the martial arts action comedy failed to make a splash, which could reflect poorly on Quan’s potential as a main star.
